Esports22 Aug 2025Yai Gameworks 10-Year Anniversary Developer Stream & SaleHey! It's window of the 10-year anniversary of Yai Gameworks! I've officially been making little horror games for 10 years now! Three things to express here. Firstly, all of the Yai Gameworks games are on sale on Steam right now at the cheapest prices they've ever been at for the Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary. Sale lasts until September 1st, and I'll mention after this sale there will be a…
Hey! Did you know we're approaching Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary? Well, now you do! I've technically been making games since 2013, starting with Blank Slate, but "Yai Gameworks" was made officially in 2015 as part of becoming a Steam developer to release Close Your Eyes: Redux on Steam. So I have some surprises for y'all! I'm doing a HUGE 10-year celebration. What does that entail? I'm goi…
Alright! Here's the promised update from the last update. This update includes: · Endings B, D & X added to the game. · Two new monsters with two new death scenes. · 25+ new rooms added to the game. · 227 new voice lines, including previous endings and quips where Rockette wasn't voiced she now is. · 3 new non-ending cutscenes and 2 new "Story Quests" (which make permanent progress points). · F…
Red Haze is getting a big content update on July 11th. This was originally planned to be the final update, but Danuta (the voice of Starry and Mariana) needed more time for life busyness, and honestly this allows me more time to work on the area through the A-Z Door anyway, so this will actually be the second to last update. But it is a pretty sizable one all the same. The July 11th Red Haze up…
Sorry for the super lengthy delay, but finally after years, Red Haze's final update is releasing on JULY 11TH, 2024. It adds several dozen new rooms, several new endings, new monsters, now story bits, voice acting of previously unvoiced scenes (and new scenes). new secrets & more! The reason for this delay is very complex and can basically be summed up that I had a really rough last few years.…
Fixed an issue between the disparity difference between people who owned the "Red Haze: Bruises Glimmer in Starlight" expansion for Red Haze & those who didn't, fixed launch issues. Game on Windows should launch fine with Achievements working for all now.
Red Haze just had an update, it's not the final update, but an update prepping for that. The update fixes Steam achievements, improves game performance, & fixes a variety of bugs & errors people had reported to me. The final big content update will be in a few months (yes, really), but THIS IS TORTURE TOGETHER will be happening first. That's the first online co-op Yai Gameworks game, can see it…
Bruises Glimmer in Starlight in a 30-60 minute long little DLC piece for Red Haze, telling a unique little side story connected to the main game. I hope y'all enjoy it.

A lonely cloaked being called Mole services instructions from what he believes is the voice o…
At 7 AM PST / 10 AM EST (hour and 20 minutes from this update going live), I'm going to be streaming a Red Haze developer commentary. The stream should be several hours long, I'll be talking with the chat as I play, VOD will be available immediately afterwards:
The Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey Form: Out of all the annual Questionnaire forms I've done, this 2020 one is the most important one so far. During 2020 and leading into early 2021, I have a sorta' time limit to get to a certain financial point in order to pursue game development full time. So I'm going to be trying my damndest during the next 15 months or so to get games out there an…
I have a lot going on the hood and trying to get better how I handle announcements and releases, but I can confidently say (unless the game gets held up in Steam's review process) I'll be releasing Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror on October 30th for $5.99 USD. It is a collection of three playable short horror stories, "Girl's Graveyard Mystery," "I Haunt this Place" and "Wail of Despair. More…

The Red Haze Halloween Event Update is returning this year, running from September 27th to November 5th (I promise the title screen won't say the Halloween Event is running for over half a year when it isn't this time). Firstly, there are some permanent bug fixes to the game which will remain after this Halloween Event. Just minor things people reported to me I got around to fixing for this pat…
So, there's a few crevices here, but for the most the "Third to Final" Update for Red Haze is out now! Restart Steam if you want it to download immediately. There is a few crevices. Rockette will get some voiced lines, but they're not quuite in yet, and that's on me scheduling with Serene last minute. There's some secrets I'll be releasing over the next few days. I'm sure there will be some bug…

The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl Steam Store Page is now properly up. Those who follow me on YouTube or are part of the official Yai Gameworks Discord may have seen me working some on this and talking about it during the last few weeks. This was previously the Close Your Eyes Intermission/2: Glass Vedalia page, but I decided to give it it's own page later as it's not a focus right now and prob…

The update will contain as follows: New Content: -Two new endings -8 new areas (some bigger than others) -Burial Sites are now active, though doing them now won't be important until the next update. -Cursed Doll fully implemen…

I'm trying to schedule out some stuff right now after some unexpected life bumps like the passing of my best friend and a family situation, and not announcing anything else yet as it's not ready enough to put an exact date on (Game 3 of FHG11.exe, Red Haze update, Arctic Haze, etc.), but there's something I can put a date on right now. Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- will be releasing on S…
Red Haze's final big update I hope to release before the end of the year once have worked out some things, but have started active work on "Arctic Haze", the sequel to Red Haze.
